Abstract
Abstract The instant invention is directed to a bioerodible poly(ortho ester) thermoplastic elastomer prepared from: (A) a diketene diacetal; (B) a long-chain non-polar, flexible diol containing 4 to 22 carbon atoms; and (C) a diol selected from the group consisting of: (i) diols containing at least one functional group which produces hydrogen bonding or other association, and (ii) rigid symmetrical diols.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
54 words
A bioerodible poly(ortho ester) thermoplastic elastomer prepared from: (A) a diketene diacetal; (B) a long-chain non-polar, flexible diol containing 4 to 22 carbon atoms and (C) a diol containing at least one functional group which results in hydrogen bonding or other association selected from the group consisting of amide, urethane, urea and imide groups.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
54 words
A bioerodible poly(ortho ester) thermoplastic elastomer prepared from: (A) a diketene diacetal; (B) a long-chain non-polar, flexible diol containing 4 to 22 carbon atoms and (C) a diol containing at least one functional group which results in hydrogen bonding or other association selected from the group consisting of amide, urethane, urea and imide groups.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words
The elastomer of claim 1 wherein said long-chain, non-polar, flexible diol is 1,10-decane diol.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
The elastomer of claim 1 wherein said amide containing diol is an amide selected from the group consisting of N-(3-hydroxypropyl)-γ-hydroxybutyramide and N,N'-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-terephthalamide.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
100 words
A bioerodible poly(ortho ester thermoplastic elastomer prepared from: (A) 60 to 95%, by weight, based on the total weight of the polymer produced, of a flexible segment prepared from a diketene diacetal and a long chain, non-polar, flexible diol containing 4 to 22 carbon atoms; and (B) 5 to 40%, by weight, based on the total weight of the polymer produced, of a rigid segment prepared from a diketene diacetal and a rigid diol containing at least one functional group which results in hydrogen bonding or other association selected from the group consisting of amide, urethane, urea and imide groups.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
100 words
A bioerodible poly(ortho ester thermoplastic elastomer prepared from: (A) 60 to 95%, by weight, based on the total weight of the polymer produced, of a flexible segment prepared from a diketene diacetal and a long chain, non-polar, flexible diol containing 4 to 22 carbon atoms; and (B) 5 to 40%, by weight, based on the total weight of the polymer produced, of a rigid segment prepared from a diketene diacetal and a rigid diol containing at least one functional group which results in hydrogen bonding or other association selected from the group consisting of amide, urethane, urea and imide groups.
